Description

The L78Sxx series of three-terminal positive regulators is available in TO-220 and TO-3 packages and with several fixed output voltages, making it useful in a wide range of applications.

These regulators can provide local on-card regulation, eliminating the distribution problems associated with single point regulation. Each type employs internal current limiting, thermal shutdown and safe area protection, making it essentially indestructible. If adequate heat sinking is provided, they can deliver over 2 A output current. Although designed primarily as fixed voltage regulators, these devices can be used with external components to obtain adjustable voltages and currents.

Features

■ Output current to 2 A

■ Output voltages of 5; 7.5; 9; 10; 12; 15; 18; 24 V

■ Thermal overload protection

■ Short circuit protection

■ Output transition SOA protection

L78S10C属于集成电路（IC） > 线性 + 开关稳压器。意法半导体（ST）集团制造生产的L78S10C稳压器 - 线性线性稳压器用于提供稳定的输出电压，无论负载电流、输入电压或环境因素如何变化，这些输出电压通常都要保持不变。它们的工作原理要求输入电压维持在高于所需的输出电压，而且要超出某个最小量，并且在工作时会将输入端的任何多余电压转换为热量。对于大多数应用而言，虽然这种稳压器的效率低于开关模式的稳压器，但它们通常更适合对噪声高度敏感的应用。
